Eugene, Oregon has quite a few fine institutions, like the Toolbox Project, MECCA, and others.

When the local maker space burned down I wasn't sure what would happen, didn't have the capacity to get involved. They've survived through what was obviously a tough time and seem to be thriving in their new space — open house tonight!

Here's a recent video about some of what goes on there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPIwVfcUESY #Eugene #Oregon #MakerSpace #maker #craft #crafting #ThirdSpace https://eugenemakerspace.com/

Another: converting a warehouse into a third space with booths all around the walls for small vendors, one end a food court, tables in the middle for all sorts of activities.

"Sincere Studio builds community through sewing"

“Our intro to sewing class still sells out weeks in advance,” Andonopoulos said. “I’m always shocked people are so interested in sewing because I thought after six months things would die down, but the interest has not stopped, and if anything, it’s grown.”
